Pleurtuit

Pleurtuit is a commune in the Saint-Malo area of Ille-et-Vilaine, nestled between the Rance estuary and the Emerald Coast. It lies just a few minutes from Dinard, Saint-Malo and Dinan, making it a convenient base for exploring this part of the Brittany coastline. The commune is home to Dinard-Pleurtuit-Saint-Malo airport, providing easy access to the region. The surrounding countryside retains a rural character, with traditional bocage hedgerows, apple orchards and the Marais de la Landriais, a protected wetland along the Rance that's ideal for birdwatching and walking. The nearby Rance river also allows for boating and other water activities, while the coast offers sandy beaches and coastal paths typical of the Emerald Coast. The temperate oceanic climate, with mild summers and gentle winters, makes it suitable for visits throughout the year. Pleurtuit serves as a good starting point for exploring walled Saint-Malo, Dinard's seaside villas, or the Rance valley up to Dinan, all while enjoying a quiet, green setting.
